Bowmore 31 Year Old Timeless 1988 Vintage Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700mL

Limited To 3000 Bottles Globally

A Whisky Definitely Shaped by Time

This 31-year old single malt has been carefully matured in Bourbon casks for 29 years until it reached the peak of its maturation. Then, it was carefully moved to Spanish Oak Matusalem Sherry seasoned butts for two years to ‘finish’, only to be released once at its best and considered a worthy legacy.

Bowmore’s Master Blender, Ron Welsh, commented: “With Bowmore Timeless Series, the key is the careful selection of the right casks, at the right time. This enables us to determine when the spirit has reached its peak, or if it should be left longer to develop its character further. This careful balance is vital to ensuring we allow the character of our whiskies to be optimised and can therefore, promise exceptional flavour delivery.”

Tasting Notes:

On The Eye: Auburn

Breathe In: Floral notes of summer blossom and fruits hold on the nose combining with sweet almonds and vanilla. As time goes on, notes of acacia honey, freshly cut grass and a touch of peppermint appear.

Sip: The taste is also floral and delicate with sweet notes of magnolia blossom, lilac and creamy cookie dough. Bowmore’s subtle smoke and salted seaweed shine through as time passes.

Finish: The finish is sweet and subtle with a warming mouthfeel. Notes of acacia honey and mint linger on the palate.

ABV: 45.4% - Cask Strength
